Telegraph: Reports on a joint MI6/CIA rendition operation that sent a present Libyan rebel back to Libya to be tortured by the Gaddafi Regime. All these close contacts between the UK Government and the Gaddafi Regime was a massive mistake, the biggest PR problem for the then PM Tony Blair is his visit to Libya in 2007. Its was one thing to get Gaddafi off the road to becoming a nuclear power, its quite another securing the Regime. Lets recall terrorists attacks of 2001 in the US and 2005 in the UK effected the normal judgements but sometimes you need to breath and think, is this good in the long term, also is this good politics, both answers when it comes to Libya is NO.
